Santos Armindo Silva MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT It s election time for the Federation - FPCBP É tempo de eleições para a FPCBP Once again, the time for election is fast approaching and March 2, Wednesday, is the day. As we look back to the beginning of our mandate, , the days, weeks and months went by sometimes very quickly. In fact, the great motivation of the Board was the reason for the goals in our program to be achieved with dignity and great success, and we would like to think that all the events that took place throughout the year brought satisfaction not only to our members but also to the Luso-Canadian Community at large. Our Newsletter was the vehicle needed and used to bring the affairs of the FPCBP to all members and to most of the similar luso organizations throughout the world and also to the different levels of governments in Canada and in Portugal. Our Newsletter has reached all corners and by now our Organization is known worldwide. Present Board of FPCBP With the adoption and integration of the Portugal Canada Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the FPCBP is broadening its activities and objectives. It is my conviction that the new reality, the FPCBP and PCCCI, brings not only a great opportunity, but also the motivation to move forward at a faster pace and into a Leo Pereira, FPCBP President new dimension as a community organization of national level. We have to be ready to accept the new reality and responsibility, and that is what is expected from a Community Leader Organization. Um dos assuntos que exigiu grande atenção da presente Direcção, foi exactamente o querer atender à recomendação da última assembleia geral em relação à Canadá- Portugal Câmara de Comércio e Indústria, recomendação essa que pedia fosse encontrada a melhor solução para a integração desta Organização na FPCBP. Este tema ocupou-nos muitas horas de estudo e discussão e não se pouparam esforços para ouvir os que mais e melhor nos podiam elucidar, incluindo os advogados membros da FPCBP que sempre se (continuação na página 2) FPCBP Newsletter - February

2 O essential acerca de Seguro de Vida Existe concenso acerca da necessidade de seguro de vida. O mesmo ja nao poderemos dizer acerca das seguintes questoes: Que tipo de apolice se deve ter? Quando compra-la? Members present at the General Meeting, January 27, 2005 (continuação da página 1) dispuseram e proporcionaram o melhor acompanhamento. Tendo em consideração as limitações financeiras da Federation - FPCBP que nos impedia apresentar um estudo e recomendação legal formal por um advogado especialista nesta matéria, porque o custo seria na ordem de milhares de dólares, decidimos dentro da máxima legalidade possível, levar as nossas conclusões e recomendações aos membros para a respectiva aprovação, o que aconteceu em Assembleia Geral Extraordinária e que teve lugar no dia 27 de Janeiro passado. Em nosso entender, a FPCBP acaba de dar o primeiro passo para a solução deste momentoso problema que de certa maneira tem sido a grande preocupação nos últimos dois anos de vida da FPCBP. O caminho está aberto, a consolidação do processo é jornada longa, mas com a planificação certa e acção condizente, não temos dúvidas que o futuro da FPCBP- PCCCI será de grande brilhantismo. Não esqueçamos todavia, que tudo depende de nós membros, da nossa atitude de cooperação e desejo sincero de fazer mudar o rumo dos acontecimentos em benefício da FPCBP. The coming election represents a great challenge for us members of the FPCBP/ PCCCI. The task that lies ahead will require courage, effort and commitment of the new board, that most importantly Expanding MRI services in Ontario The McGuinty government is ensuring Ontarians have shorter wait times for Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) services by opening more MRI machines across the province, expanding the hours of operation of existing MRI machines, and replacing older MRIs with new, more efficient machines that deliver needs to be a cohesive, balanced and committed team. I ask all members to be actively supportive of the new board being elected and those that can help, to lend a hand and cooperate in accepting a position as director. For those that never served on the board as directors of the FPCBP, I urge you to accept and do so and I guarantee that the feeling and the pleasure that you will experience for serving the great Portuguese-Canadian Community is a reward that no one can afford to miss. As the mandate comes to an end, I would like to express my gratitude to all Members of the present Board for all the good work and for the opportunity to be the leader of such an exceptional group. Nothing can take away our good memories. To the board being elected, my good wishes for a successful mandate, and to all members of the FPCBP, my sincere appreciation for your trust and support. Also, last but not least, a sincere thanks to the luso-canadian media, newspapers, radio and television for the precious help in conveying to the public the messages, programs and events of the Federation FPCBP, throughout the year. I am very happy that I was able to serve the Porguguese-Canadian Community once more. Thank you. Obrigado. Leo Pereira more exams faster. As a result of investments this fiscal year, an extra 40,000 (or 14.5 per cent more) MRI exams will be delivered by the end of These investments alone will result in 53,461 more exams in , a nearly 20 per cent increase in MRI procedures since the government came into office. Um seguro de vida cria seguranca financeira para a familia. Se houver uma morte prematura, pode ser usado para: pagar as despesas do funeral e outras dividas que haja ter um rendimento para a familia ter a certeza que a familia tem recursos para manter um nivel de vida confortavel. Por outro lado, existem apolices que em vida : criam poupancas que podem ser levantadas para satisfazer necessidades financeiras imediatas ou para completmentar o rendimento quando reformado. Dependendo da forma como olha para o seguro de vida, e sempre um activo que deve fazer parte do plano financeiro, pois disponibiliza fundos quando eles sao mais necessarios. A melhor maneira de comprar um seguro de vida a um preco razoavel e compra-lo quando lhe parece que nao precisa dele: isto e, quando e jovem e saudavel. Contudo, sao poucas as situacoes, mas acontecem, em que e tarde para o comprar. Deve rever a sua apolice de vida com o seu consultor financeiro anualmente ou quando houver alteracoes substanciais na sua vida, tais como o nascimento de um bebe, alteracao do estado civil. A compra de uma residencia ou de uma casa de ferias, novo emprego ou iniciar uma empresa, sao tambem circunstancias que obrigam a rever a sua proteccao.

8 Speech of FPCBP scholarship recipient Susana Miranda Good evening members of the Federation of Portuguese Canadian Business and Professionals, honoured guests, friends and family. It is my pleasure to be here today to accept this scholarship and thank the Federation of Portuguese Canadian Business and Professionals, and their generous sponsors, on behalf of all the recipients of these awards. As students who are striving to succeed, whether we are high school students, undergraduate students, professional students or graduate students, we all have to make intellectual and emotional commitments, commitments of our time, and financial commitments in order to achieve our goals. We do not only strive independently. It is through the support and understanding of our family and friends that we are able to forge ahead and realize our potential. These scholarships from the Federation of Portuguese Canadian Business and Professionals represent much needed support from the Portuguese Canadian community as well. The financial support lessens some of the stress we face in worrying about how to make ends meet while pursuing our education. However, the public recognition that we are receiving tonight also adds to the emotional support and validation we often require in the face of the hard work and sacrifices we all make. This aid from the Federation is immensely valuable in assisting us to achieve academically and pursue successful careers. This award also represents a recognition of the value of education in the Portuguese Canadian community. It is wonderful that the Federation has brought together such an admirable group of young Portuguese- Canadians who are and will continue to enrich the life of our community and Canadian society. I think we all can agree that it is a pleasure to celebrate in the achievements of each individual. I hope that the recipients of these awards can take this opportunity to forge new relationships amongst each other and in the Portuguese-Canadian community that will last many years. We thank the Federation for bringing us together tonight, with our family and friends and other supporters, and for the Federation s important work in seeking out and recognizing students who have made and have the potential to make important contributions to society: as doctors, professors, engineers, business professionals, teachers, lawyers, other important professions, and generally as active citizens. Again, we thank the Federation of Portuguese Canadian Business and Professionals and their sponsors for this scholarship. e will make every effort to fulfill your confidence in our abilities.
